Update: Tivo & 802.11g

As I wrote in an earlier post, the TivoToGo upgrade some users have received appears to turn on support for faster, 802.11g wireless adapters. Now a Tivo representative confirms it's true.

Kathryn Kelly told me today that, if your machine has the 7.1 software upgrade, it will now work with certain 802.11g adapters. She said she'd get me a list of adapters that will work; when I receive it, I'll post it here.

Update to the update: Kelly came through. Two 802.11g adapters will be added to Tivo's approved list: Netgear's WG111 v2 and D-Link's DWL-G120.

One more time: Kelly now reports that, even though the 802.11g adapters work, they don't deliver 802.11g speeds -- they "are not significantly faster than b for Tivo transfers."
